Let's Talk About Healthy Foods!

"Meal Time is Talk Time" Resources

Good nutrition combined with language-rich activities like talking, reading, and singing supports children’s early brain and language development.

That's why we're partnering with the National Black Child Institute, Scholastic, and Gerber to share tips on how to make the most of everyday moments—like grocery shopping and meal time—to talk, read, and sing about healthy foods throughout the day.
